> GDI+ is just way too slow (calculating text bounds is ~10 times slower than in V), and Apple's drawing API is not very nice to use, and it's also 2-3 times slower at rendering text.
Does V's text library support the kinds of shaping and nested bidirectional layout needed to render Arabic text? I've heard that's a cause of a lot of complexity and slowness in text rendering, so stripping it out would be an easy performance win for people like me who can't read Arabic anyway.
